Valentine’s Day Gift

           While drifting thoughts at work, I'm wondered, “What’s the best Valentine’s Day gift I’ve ever received?”  Call it what you want… vein, shallow or merely taking a dance back in time…
           I thought, I’d received flowers and candy.  Today, my friend’s husband sent her flowers at work.  (I know we’re in a recession, but one of our ten women is low.  Anyway…)  I thought her husband was super sweet, especially since they’ve been married for twenty plus years!  My boss was wearing a ruby and diamond ring that her husband gave her.  And later that day she asked me what I was doing for Valentine’s Day.  Now, that’s a sour spot... because I’m in between relationships.  :0)  (Deep down inside I’m thinking, “Drowning my sorrow with Chardonnay and cheesecake, beaooch!”  Just kidding.  She's a nice person, and it’s not that serious.)  I could have gone out, but I’m still getting over this nasty virus my son passed on to me.  (Kid germs are a killer!)

            So yesterday, my son’s father comes over to take care of our son so I could get some rest. And rest I did… until Mo got extra happy when someone was being honored on B.E.T…. or when he locked himself out while walking my dog and I had to let him in… or when he was stomping around like a stampede of wild elephants.  LOL!  Still, I somehow managed to sleep well and I awoke to a clean house.  I mean my dishes were washed and put away.  My clothes were washed and folded.  My bathroom was spotless and my kitchen floors were swept and mopped.

            Can you say, “Thank you Jesus?”

Now, that’s a Valentine’s gift.
